You cannot make fillings that require refrigeration, and fillings with butter are not automatically allowed. But you can make fillings that contain butter IF you get the recipe approved, or if you use a pre-approved recipe.

Elizabeth, the last lesson in my free mini course covers some of this. But basically, yes you need to pay income taxes at tax time. No matter how much you make, you have to report it as income. I personally use TurboTax to file my taxes, but most tax software will be able to handle business income.

Hi. I just got licensed to start my custom cake business here in CT. The only thing I can’t seem to find is tax help. Do i need to file them? is there a certain amount I need to make to file them? How do/should I file them. Everywhere I look just keeps to be dead ends. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this part of it?

The rules for the new cottage food law are still being approved, so you can’t use them yet. It appears that they will become effective in the next few months, but it’s hard to know for sure. If you want to get started immediately, you should look into renting a commercial kitchen. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

Well… kind of. The truth is that despite the effective date, this law doesn’t really start until the health dept publishes their rules. I just checked their site and don’t see anything yet. Let me know if you hear anything!
